Heroes of Might and Magic® 4: Complete

Since they borderline perfected the mechanics in HOMM III, aside from some lacking new ideas like caravans, NWC decided to change up the entire system. And it is a better experience because of it. Now, I have two games I find insanely enjoyable, and I actually prefer the fourth installment, Sadly, it feels a bit unfinished because of the whole 3DO thing, but with the fanmade mods; Equilibris, or Enhancement Mod, it is in my TOP 10 games of all times list.

Playing it for YEARS. Greatest ever

I love HOMM4. I also like HOMM3 very much. but 4 is more attractive to me.

I really enjoy the freedom of Heroes 4 and how powerfull the heroes can become

While HoMM4 fails in comparision to the classic Heroes 3 it is a fantastic game. Fans bombed it when it first came out due to the overall change in design and some currently patched issues with the enemy AI. I too felt the same way at the time, but after hundreds of hours of playing and still doing a campaign playthrough every once in a while over ten year later I have to say it is well worth it. Combat is still classic franchise appropriate fun. Factions are well thought out and unique. It is for sure not well balanced as all HoMM were not ment to be- your are ment to find those expoits and cheese the heck out of them! And the campaigns are fantastic. Certainly not epic Final Fantasy level stories but nice little stories involving justice, morality, human nature and human sorrow that tend to cut a little deeper than you would assume a Heroes' franchise to do. . .
